Paperback. Condition: Very Good. '||'''Information Systems: An Emerging Disciplines?'||''' addresses fundamental questions arising from the on-going debate about IS as a discipline. Information Systems is a relatively new area of study having emerged over the past 20 years from domains which include computer and business systems… analysis, computing and management science. As with any newly emerging field, there are many conflicting views about the appropriate subject matter, its boundaries and its relationship to other disciplines. This book examines the key issues that arise at different levels: the underlying philosophical questions; the distinctive nature of IS research; and IS and education. The book has resulted from a series of seminars organised by the UK Systems Society at Warwick University between 1992 and 1995. Each seminar had a particular theme relevant to problems of the developing field of IS which attracted leading figures from the IS community. Primarily a text for graduate researchers, academic reference and lecturers in the IS community, it will also be a valuable source book for postgraduate students studying on information systems, business and management courses. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
